What You Need to Know about Complex Custody Cases
There are various types of custody recognized by the family courts. When
considering divorce or going through the process of divorce, you and your
spouse will need to decide how the custody of your child or children will
be arranged.
The four types of child custody include:
-
Legal custody: This type of custody determines which parent has the right to make decisions
regarding the child's education, healthcare, and other issues.
-
Sole legal custody: If sole legal custody is granted, only one parent has physical custody
of the child and the sole responsibility to make decisions on behalf of
the child.
-
Joint legal custody: Typically this is the scenario that the court favors if possible. Joint
legal custody grants both parents decision-making rights as well as physical
custody rights.
-
Physical custody: Physical custody determines who the child lives with.
Complex child custody cases refer to issues that do not result in an easily-determined
shared parenting schedule. Whether due to drug abuse, child neglect or
abuse, a criminal record, or another factor, Child Protective Services
may be involved, and more intense legal issues may be present.

as possible. No matter what side you are on, your rights as a parent are
